College Students Abandon Church

Lifeway research says it is because churches do not provide real answers.

“Teens are looking for more from a youth ministry than a holding tank with pizza,” (Lifeway Research)

In youth groups across America teens are being entertained, amused, partied, and gimmicked so much that they are void of any Biblical discernment. Many of them do not even understand salvation.

It should be no surprise that a large segment of these youth group alumni are ready and willing to abandon church for the bigger entertainment, bigger amusement, and bigger parties associated with college frivolity.

When these twentysomethings are faced with life’s toughest questions for the first time they begin to seek real answers.

Since the church does not supply these answers they look elsewhere. The Barna Research Group finds similar conclusions.
